Chapter 1

Third Person P.O.V

With the war long over Camp Half-Blood had seen a raise in the amount of Demi-Gods that had joined the camp, with the decreased number of monster attacks many were making it to camp with little to no trouble. Many of the campers that had fought in the war were now taking a well earned rest, they enjoyed the comforts of not having to fight huge numbers of monsters each day, in actual fact it had become quite unusual to see a lot of monsters at one time. The sun was setting casting beautiful shades of red and orange around the whole camp, most of the campers were gathered around the camp fire listening to the gentle and calming voices of the Apollo cabin but two silhouettes could be seen on the beach sitting side by side.

Percy P.O.V

I sat watching the calm ocean; I looked down and smiled as I saw Annabeth, the love of my life resting her head on my shoulder. Things had been so great after the war me and Annabeth were getting more time together and every second Annabeth could spare from re-designing Olympus we would spend together, the camp had become more busy with the amount of new campers who were sorted into their cabins almost as soon as they arrived, I was glad the gods and goddesses were keeping their promises but it was still eerily quiet with the small amount of monster attacks, Chiron still pushed us to practice more, in case there were suddenly a threat but I think he enjoyed the down time as well, I was brought back down to earth as my wise girl spoke " What you thinking about seaweed brain?" she asked teasingly and she sat back up lifting her head off my shoulder, I was quite sad by the fact that she had sat up and replied " I was just thinking about how quite the camp has been lately." She instantly frowned and I began to wonder what was wrong "I have to admit it's been nice but it's strange you know with the decrease of monster attacks, I wonder what they're planning?" what they're planning? What did she mean, so being me I decided to ask " What you mean wise girl?" she turned to look at me and I felt my heart flutter at the sight of her striking grey eyes, I hadn't realised she had started talking in till she punched me " Owww, what was that for?" I asking rubbing my arm and pouted, she mumbled something about me being a baby before saying "Were you listening to a word I was saying ?" she asked sternly narrowing her eyes, I began to panic if I didn't come up with an answer Annabeth would have my head "Idontknow" I quickly mumbled and closed my eyes waiting for her to start shouting or pouch me but what I heard next was very confusing, I opened one eye to see Annabeth on the sand laughing " Oh gods, your face." She said and wiped the tears from her eyes. I narrowed my eyes and said "At least I'm not a know it all" oh that was a big mistake, never I mean never call a spawn of Athena a know it all. Annabeth face morphed into a look of anger and I got to my feet quickly and started to run away as she yelled "You will pay for that one fish breath." And she charged towards me and that when I started to scream for help. Campers and Chiron raced towards me probably thinking something bad had happened but started to laugh when they saw Annabeth racing after me even Chiron started to snigger, what was the world coming to? I almost reached my cabin when Annabeth leaped at me and pinned me to the floor and she started to rain punches on me "I'm sorry." I said as she carried on useing me as a personal punch bag, after a few more punches she stopped, stood up and started to walk back to her cabin, I picked myself off the floor and dusted off my jeans when she called back " I'd watch your back from now on seaweed brain." My face paled as the campers burst into another fit of laughter.

I flopped down onto my bed after taking a quick shower and changing into some tracksuit bottoms, my closed eyes steady as I drifted off to sleep, when there was an ear piercing scream. I shot out of bed and quickly pulled on a t-shirt, I grabbed riptide which was in pen form and uncapped it, and in a flash I was holding a three foot sword ready for an unexpected attack. I exited my cabin to see a flood of campers running up to Thalia's tree, I weaved in and out of the campers in till I was at the front what I saw shocked me, there was a large group of monsters chasing a girl, she was near the camp borders but there was no hope in her reaching the borderline in time unless some fended off the monsters, I noticed Grover behind the girl shouting at her to keep on running and I noticed he was holding a sword my face paled as I realised what he was about to sacrifice himself in order for her to get to camp safely, just like what Thalia did I thought to myself, without hesitation I charged forwards and began to slash and hack at the monsters, gold dust littered the floor as more campers began to fight, I glanced at Annabeth who was fighting near me, she quickly flashed my a smile as she plunged her dagger into a hellhound, she looked back up at me and she screamed " Watch out." I spun around to find a hellhound swiping its gigantic claws at me, I stepped out the way but wasn't quick enough and its claws ripped into my shoulder, I cried out in pain and I dropped Riptide, the monster advanced and was about to finish my off when it erupted into a shower of golden dust, I looked up and spotted the girl who had been running towards the camp. I gave her an appreciative smile and noticed her electric blue eyes but before I could ask her who she was, she raced off to fight off more monsters. I picked up riptide and pain erupted from my shoulder as I gripped my sword tighter. For a few more minutes I fought of two or three hellhounds and once there was nothing more than dust, I turned around ready to face more enemies when I saw that we had defeated all the monsters. The campers cheered in victory and I walked to find Annabeth, I spotted her amongst the crowd surrounded by her half brothers and sister, I waved with my over hand and caught her attention. She raced over and was about to say something when she saw my shoulder " Oh my gods percy, what happened?" she asked with concern " Oh a hellhound scratched me buts its fine, we better make sure everyone is okay first", she rolled her eyes and quickly kissed me and then pulled away " You'll die of blood loss seaweed brain unless you go to the infirmary right now!" her voice told me that she wouldn't take no for an answer, so I sighed and began to walk towards the infirmary when a shadow caught my eye, I spun around and spotted a figure cloaked in black with a arrow notched aiming at Annabeth! "ANNABETH" I screamed as I dived in front of her as the figure let go of the arrow.

Annabeth P.O.V

I jumped back in surprise as I noticed a arrow fly straight towards me, this is the end I thought to myself but my stomach flipped over and my heart raced as Percy, my Percy dived in front of me. I watched in horror as the arrow landed its mark, I knew it had pierced his heart but I didn't want to believe it. I dropped to my knees crying and clutched Percy's hand, gods please no, please not him I thought to myself "Annabeth a…are y…you okay" he choked out as he spat out blood "Please don't leave me, I love you." I cried out and clutched his hand tighter "I love you to wise girl" he said and I burst into another fit of tears. I hadn't noticed the gathered crowd of campers, Chiron or the tears in everyone's eyes, however I did notice twelve flashes and then the gods looking around, and Poseidon's eyes were full of worry. He started to cry as his eyes landed on Percy's body and the other gods looked shocked too as I continued to cry my heart out. " D…dad is that y..you?" Percy asked, Poseidon immediately answered "Yes son I am here.", " Tell m…mom I l…love her, I love you d…dad" he choked out and the light in his eyes vanished and they glazed over, "Percy no, Percy answer me please, Percy I love you." I said crying, I couldn't believe the love of my life had been ripped away from us so soon.
